The hostel was really good. Near to the main touristic points and underground station. The breackfast is really good too. The staff is kindly and helpful any time you need.

We were a little cold (maybe the central heating was not at its best)

Hi, I was very satisfied with the hostel, with the excellent situation in the center of Berlin, with the breakfeast, the friendly and very young people, the friendly hosts and the very friendly atmosphere and also with the cleanness, the possibility to take a shower and to use the internet. I am very impressed and will come back at any other opportunity. Yours faithfully Dorothea Sabirowsky

the breakfast was very good. Improving security is an issue, anyone could enter the premises and go to the bedrooms. The real bad thing was wifi. First, the staff at reception didn't explain clearly how to connect. They give you a piece of paper with the network passsword and a voucher number, then you're supposed to go the the hostel website and then type the voucher number on it but I figured it out myself and it wasn't explained to me by the staff. Connection wasn't good and failed constantly

Very spacy rooms. Big breakfast ;) The only problem was Wi-Fi. You need password each day and for every machine (if you use phone and laptop) and it was quite slow... The rest was pretty ok ;)

We were sleeping in room 201 next to the door entrance to the stairs. Each time when the door opens people are smashing it against the wall of our room. The sound is terrible , the whole night long... Please repair it for next guests...

Good service, decoration of reception and common areas (computers) may be improved and made more friendly.

Nice hostel, close to Friedrichstrasse if you come from the Schonefeld airport (15 min walk), very nice included breakfast (bread, cereal, milk, orange juice, pastries, cheese, ham). The only issue: wi-fi does not reach the first floor and it was very sloppy even in the lounge room (it kept coming and going and it was very annoying) If they fix that, can be the best hostel I have ever been to.

The hostel was great, the room was comfortable but the pillows were a little flat and the mattress was hard which was difficult to sleep on

Great price, the bed was very comfortable- well set up with reading lamps. The sheets were soft and clean (I wanted to take them home). Hostel was very well heated. Located near Stadmitte- just near checkpoint charlie- this area is really safe but a little sterile; not much night life but so very central, so very well located. The breakfast was great (and included in price). The only thing that could improve the stay would be having wifi in the rooms upstairs. I had a few problems connecting
